Jamestown is in for a hot one with triple-digit temperatures forecast for Saturday. While things are quieter than usual locally, it is a great weekend to head to Fargo for live country music or retreat to the cool air conditioning of the cinema for several major new releases.
Expect a scorcher with temperatures peaking at 101 degrees on Saturday. Conditions will be mostly clear to overcast with the best window for any outdoor activity being late Friday afternoon.
